Hello Monday Morning. Not the blues but a beautiful day in Southern Delaware. I remember when we all used to think that going out to dinner was only on weekends. Okay, it is true to some extent but if you have the opportunity to eat out any day of the week, please do so. Our beach restaurants are full of specials and Happy Hours. A good way to try some of those popular restaurants that are so crowded once the Season gets underway.
Our destination on Monday was Northeast Seafood Kitchen located at 29 Atlantic Ave. in Ocean View, DE. It is just a couple of miles west of Bethany Beach. Reservations are accepted. They have a kid’s menu. Opens at 4.
On Mondays they have a $19 Fish Board. Amazing, right? Your choice of fish and selection of cooking preparation.
Two of us decided to have the same thing: The Monkfish. This fish has a firm flesh, it is lean, and when cooked it is bright white. They say it is the Poor Man’s Lobster but that’s for you to decide. Ours was delicious ???
Mahi was also ordered and look how good it looked. Perfectly cooked.?
No dessert. Perfectly satisfied. Nice evening enjoying the company of friends.
For anyone with dietary restrictions, they do offer a variety of ways to accommodate you.
Until next time. AboutMyBeaches is on Facebook and Instagram. Check it out.
Remember that Good Food is the Foundation of Genuine Happiness ?

I big shout to Doggies at The Beach for taking such good care of my little Diva, Miss Addy. Doggies at the beach is a 3,500 square foot indoor, cage free doggie day care. It is Miss Addy’s home away from home. While visiting Doggies at the Beach she met Santa. I know what her expression is telling me, but I am glad she went along with the program. Doggies at The Beach is located at 18806 J. Williams Hwy. in Rehoboth Beach. Tel. 302-644-8200. They have 24 hour human supervision and even web cams so that you can follow your precious pooch. Grooming is also available. They are on Facebook, as well. Check them out because they are always hosting events and very much involved in the community. Jim and his staff are very caring and obviously they love dogs!! Please visit http://www.doggiesatthebeach.com.
This would be a great stocking stuffer for your dog. Your pooch will love these Tail Bangers made with whole wheat flour, rolled oats, eggs, canola oil, fresh ground peanuts, honey, cinnamon, with a vanilla yogurt coating. Tail Bangers are made in Millsboro, Delaware, about 1/2 hour from Rehoboth Beach. The company has gone big, a success story. I have not visited but can’t wait to do so. You can find Tail Bangers at Doggies at The Beach, Candy Kitchen, Pet Stores in the area and even the UPS store at the Safeway Shopping Center. I took them as a gift to my friend’s dog, Dale, in Bluffton, South Carolina and they were a big hit. So, I decided to try them myself. They smell so good. I took a bite and they were not bad at all. After all they are made with all natural ingredients. Tail Bangers is located at 24546 Betts Pond Rd., Millsboro, DE 19956 You can find them on Facebook and Twitter. Website? www.tailbangers.com.
Another great stocking stuffer for those that love to cook and for your favorite foodies are these Sea Salts made right here on the coast by SoDel Concepts. There is the Bay Spice, the Summer Lemon Zest, and the Black Pepper Fennel. You can get these salts at any of SoDel Concepts Restaurants from Lewes to Fenwick Island.

Another perfect gift….a book, the perfect companion. Truddi Chase was from Maryland. Her story was made into a movie years ago, base on her first book When Rabbit Howls. The movie was called Voices Within: The Lives of Truddi Chase. It was an autobiography about her experiences after being diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder. Truddi was interviewed by Oprah. Her story is a fascinating one of survival after been sexually abuse from age two. She coped by developing 92 personalities. She never integrated them so she lived with them all of her life until she died in 2010. Her second book has just come out thanks to her daughter, Kari, who lives in Lewes. This second book is more whimsical. All art work is by Truddi and the different personalities. The name of the book is The Creature of Habit. You can get it at http://www.truddichase.com
It was Sunday and I was trying to figure out what restaurant to choose in Downtown Rehoboth Beach for dinner with a couple of friends. We have plenty of restaurants, you know. And, quite good, as well. Sunday evening is a quieter time and I love it.
So, I decided to check Lupo di Mare’s website. You can open it yourselves, as well. It is http://www.lupodimarerehoboth.com. You see that fish there on the dinner menu? That’s what I wanted for dinner. No more thinking.
Lupo di Mare is located at 247 Rehoboth Ave. in the Hotel Rehoboth. Tel. 302-226-2240. The restaurant has huge windows overlooking the Avenue. You can order take out. But, no reservations. If you have to wait a bit, just have a drink at the bar. It is small, but comfortable.
Their food is fresh, with pastas and sauces made daily. Lupo di Mare offers take out. The restaurant is well aware of people with food allergies and will accommodate you as much as they can and are able to. It has been consistently good.
I also really like their focaccia bread with a side order of Virgin Olive Oil. The bread has a slight sweetness to it and the red pepper flakes adds just a hint of flavor to the oil.
We also ordered oven roasted marcona almonds with rosemary and sea salt. They were perfect to have with our drinks.
I have only had the Shaved Brussels Sprouts at Lupo di Mare. The truffle oil and pecorino make this appetizer or salad, one of my favorites. It is truly delicious.
One of my guests had pasta, baked with spicy sausage, eggplant, ricotta, mozzarella and fresh herbs. I had to be quick with the camera because he was ready to start eating.
My husband decided on Chargrilled Octupus. This was a starter appetizer and it had shaved fennel, black olive tapenade, white beans, fresh herbs and lemon.
Another of my guests decided that she would have just a salad for dinner. The pistachio, chickpea and beet salad with bleu cheese, shaved brussels, balsamic and crushed pistachios and extra Virgin Olive Oil. I have had this salad in the past and the combination of all those ingredients makes this salad full of flavor.
My dish was perfect and I got exactly what I wanted. Pan seared Sea Bass served with a side of broccoli rabe, with red and yellow peppers, garlic and extra Virgin Olive Oil. Talking about flavor in a dish. When you have a whole fish, you really get exactly what the fish should taste like. I know the bones get to some of you but this particular fish was easy to work with.
No dessert was ordered since we had eaten quite a bit. I think I had a coffee and our evening was one of those where you take a deep breath and give thanks for having such good friends.
